Listen is a mailing list management application that integrates into the Plone Content Management System. It is based on the venerable MailBoxer Zope Product by Maik Jablonski, and offers most of the features of that product.

This product has been created in order to allow Plone portal users to subscribe or unsubscribe to Mailman mailing lists, to embed Mailman mailing lists into a Plone portal. The portal manager can set up open or role-based mailing lists as well as "auto lists", i.e. mailing lists that get populated using a Python script. In order to allow easy integration into the Plone portal, there exists an auto list "sandbox" which allows to preview the effects of the script code before actually using it. Portal users get an additional preferences panel that allows to subscribe to all lists the user may access. The user data can be synced using a shell script (that should be called regularly by a cron job).
